I'm not sure what you mean by "sarcasm" here. You may want to reword your question with an edit.

I also don't see exactly how "sarcasm" fits here. If you say "You gotta love pussy!" to someone, does that somehow become sarcastic or not, depending on the gender and sexual orientation of either/both of you?

@FumbleFingers Add in personal taste, and that’s far too many axes of confusion to chart out. Best steer clear of that one. :)
